"The Lydia D. Killefer School is located in Orange, California, approximately 31 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles, and 22 miles northeast of Long Beach. The property is on the east side of North Lemon Street, north of the intersection of North Lemon Street and West Walnut Avenue. The lot is bounded on the north and south by single- and multi-family residences. It is a former elementary school in the Spanish Colonial Revival style. Construction began in December 1930, and was completed by April 1931. 1 The Killefer School stands on the eastern portion of its 1.7-acre parcel. The site is sparsely landscaped, with only a few trees and shrubs. The Killefer School has been vacant for approximately fifteen years, and is in poor condition. 2 It is currently threatened with demolition. It retains significant character defining features of its original design, and has integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association." (visit link)
